Book Description

A modern approach to equity valuation

Understanding the key ingredients that combine to affect price/earnings (P/Es) is of crucial importance to the investment process. In Franchise Value, Martin Leibowitz tackles the imposing task of determining what really has an impact on P/Es. The author shows why he subscribes to the conventional logic that the P/E gauges the market's assessment of the firm's future. He then introduce readers to the franchise-value approach to analyzing the prospective cash flows that determine a company's P/E. The franchise-value approach to valuation enables the analyst or investor to break the firm into two key component parts and to value those components. The franchise value approach is original and insightful, and with this book, readers can begin to implement this approach to perform better equity valuations.

Martin L. Leibowitz, PhD (Stamford, CT), is Vice Chair and Chief Investment Officer at TIAA-CREF, where he is responsible for the overall management of all TIAA-CREF investments. He has authored several books and more than 130 articles, nine of which have received a Financial Analysts Journal Graham and Dodd Award of Excellence.

This monograph develops the franchise value approach to analyzing the prospective cash flows that determine a company's price-to-earnings ratio. The franchise factor model retains the simplicity and intuitive appeal of the dividend discount model, but it offers the advantages of flexibility in application and insight into the components of P/E growth.

Customer Reviews:

Sound, practical advice.......2007-07-20

Both students and working professionals will find much to learn in this college textbook. The writing and process guidelines are sound, detailed, and practical. The numerous examples and tips for writing different types of PR materials are very helpful for understanding their purpose and use. However, the chapters on writing marketing materials detract from the focus of the book and offer necessarily limited info. Writing skills for these materials are best learned in other, marketing-focused books where they can receive a full presentation.

Useful book.......2006-08-07

Very thorough, modern text that will guide you through the aspects of public relations writing. Lots of exercises in each chapter designed to get you thinking and writing. Practical, useful tips for anyone trying to break into the field or just polish up skills.

Great!.......2005-09-29

This book was sent to me in record time, and the book looks like it was barely used. And the price! It couldn't be beat!
